FAQ's of Steam Shrink Tunnel Machine:
Q: How does the Steam Shrink Tunnel Machine work to sleeve bottles?
A: The machine uses adjustable steam zones that generate heat to shrink sleeve labels tightly onto bottles, jars, or containers as they pass through the tunnel on a stainless steel slat conveyor. This ensures a uniform and secure fit for a variety of bottle sizes and shapes.
Q: What types of products and sleeve materials are compatible with this machine?
A: The SST-2500 model is suitable for applying shrink sleeves made from PVC, PET, or OPS onto bottles, containers, and jars, with diameters ranging from 28 mm to 125 mm and heights from 50 mm to 320 mm. Sleeve thickness of 30-50 microns is supported.
Q: When is a changeover needed and how quickly can it be completed?
A: A changeover is required whenever you switch product sizes or sleeve materials. The machine is designed for efficient changeovers, taking less than 10 minutes, which minimizes downtime during production runs.
Q: Where can this steam shrink tunnel machine be installed?
A: It is a floor-mounted unit suitable for installation in beverage, food, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries. Its IP54 ingress protection and durable stainless steel frame make it ideal for use in industrial production facilities.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the machine for different bottle sizes or shrink sleeve types?
A: Adjustments are easily made through the touch screen HMI interface and by configuring the position of steam zones and conveyor speed. The machine's modular design enables quick adaptation to varying bottle dimensions and sleeve materials without extensive reconfiguration.
Q: How does using this machine benefit production efficiency and product quality?
A: The integrated conveyor system, automatic operation, precise digital PLC controls, and high-speed throughput (up to 9000 bottles/hour) ensure consistent sleeve application, reduce manual labor, and increase overall line efficiency. Energy saving mode and advanced safety features further optimize the process.
